Drawing From Life: How Artists Use Sketchbooks

By Lance Richardson

In the first of a growing collection of resources exploring drawing from life, artist Lance Richardson shows us examples of artists’ sketchbooks and the varied ways in which artists use their sketchbooks to record drawings from life. This resource is suitable for all audiences looking for new and fresh ways to think about using sketchbooks, whether you’re a practising artist, someone who would like to use sketchbooks as a way to find space in the day or an educator looking to inspire learners. You can find the next video in the series here.
